This year, NYO Canada is ecstatic to unveil the commissioned artwork that will visually represent our 2024 tour. We’re honoured to have collaborated with the exceptional Regina-based artist Jamie Slawson to create a piece that embodies the spirit of our “Horizons” theme.

Jamie’s vibrant watercolour composition masterfully captures the unique skylines of the cities we’ll be visiting. His work highlights the diversity and energy of each location, setting the stage for an unforgettable musical journey.

“It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with a local Saskatchewan artist on this year’s tour artwork. Jamie’s dedication to community aligns perfectly with our values, and his artwork beautifully reflects the ‘Horizons’ theme.” says Emily Dunbar, Marketing and Communications Manager, NYO Canada.
